Browse property in Collins Head Road

Along Collins Head Road the settlement pattern is a mix of the island’s widely separated homesteads and the compact town‑centre of Burnt Pine, where paved streets (part of Norfolk’s 53 km of sealed roads) are lined with modest residential dwellings and the community’s shopping centre, post office, bottle shop, telephone exchange and hall. The road network follows left‑hand driving, low speed limits of 50 km/h (dropping to 40 km/h in town), and a friendly “Norfolk wave” as vehicles pass one another.

The road links to the island’s sole airport, which offers regular Qantas flights to Sydney and Brisbane and Air Chathams service to Auckland, while loading jetties at Kingston and Cascade handle sea freight that is shuttled ashore by small boats. Residents and visitors also benefit from Norfolk’s single hospital, central school, radio and TV stations, and basic utilities supplied by diesel generators and rooftop solar.
